Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper reveals major career move after suffering tragic loss
Kaleb Cooper, the true breakout star of Amazon Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm, has announced his latest career move and it involves a very personal revelation from the young farmer.
Starring across all three series of the documentary series, the 26-year-old has worked tirelessly alongside Jeremy Clarkson as he ventures in to the world of full-time farming.
Taking over the 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm he’s owned since 2008, Clarkson has needed a total walkthrough on how to be a functioning farmer (never mind a successful one).
Through Cooper, who became farm manager in season three, the pair have become an unlikely duo loved by millions as the young farmhand showed no signs of being phased by Clarkson’s celebrity status.
Now, Cooper has revealed the latest move in his career.
Taking to social media, he announced that he is releasing his third book called It’s A Farming Thing. It’s set to be sold via Amazon very soon.
He shared the exciting announcement on his Instagram feed from the seat of his tractor, parked up with a gorgeous Cotswolds backdrop behind him.

In making the announcement, Cooper revealed he was dedicating the book to someone close to him who had recently passed away.
“So, just finished another baling job, I’ve done another 50 bales here,” Cooper said on Instagram.
“It’s a load of wrap silage. And I’ve got some very exciting news which I’m really really excited about. I’ve done my first book which is The World According To Kaleb, I’ve done my second book which is Britain According To Kaleb, and now… this is my third book!

“I’ve got a new book coming out later this year, it’s called It’s A Farming Thing, it’s available on Amazon, and it’s all about farming.
“And this book definitely means something a little bit to me, something special and it touches my heart because it’s dedicated to my granddad, who passed away two years ago, and he meant absolutely everything.
“He was my rock, he was my drive, and that’s why I drive and work so hard these days, I think, because I want to basically take over the world as a young person.”

Fans of Cooper were more than supportive following his personal revelation, with one saying his grandad would be ‘very proud of you like we all are’.
Filming for Clarkson’s Farm season four is now well under way with a number of storylines hinted at by Clarkson and his co-stars.
Clarkson himself is also venturing in to other career paths, including one that ‘everyone advised against’.
